NEW COURSE for Summer 2026: July 6 - August 14
Course Description
At the Secondary Level, there is an emphasis on summative assessment in order to move towards graduation requirements. For many content area teachers, or English as a New Language (ENL) teachers who are co-teaching in these classrooms, there is an increased challenge to provide equity in instruction while supplementing for gaps in language and background knowledge. There is also an issue with pacing to cover required curriculum that will be part of these high-stakes summative assessments. Within each module, participants will examine the principles and methodologies behind some practical strategies for supporting ELLs in core content areas. In addition, we will introduce various tech tools and some key components that will support our students in content learning and language inquisition. Conducted in English for all secondary teachers including teachers of English Language Learners (ELL), English Learners (EL), English as a New Language (ENL), English as a Second Language (ESL) and Multilingual Learners (MLL).
